THE TRUCK ----------THE MAN The Truck 2004 FORD F150 LARIAT Less than 38,000 miles The Man This truck belonged to my Uncle. His name was Clay. This truck was his pride and joy!! Clay was a Marine who served in Vietnam. He was a police officer in Ct. and a Sargent in Fl Clay had his first heart attack at age 39. He was as tough as nails. (maybe tougher) ! He purchased this truck not long after being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2003. The Doctors gave him 18 months. They did NOT know Clay ! The Truck Black on Black The original sticker shows all the details and is the last in the series of pictures that I've added. A complete service was done on this truck 9/06/2011 to the tune of $2098. 29. Tires have approximately 5,000 miles on them. This truck is in excellent condition. It was detailed and the oil changed last week. The Man He wanted to keep her impeccable. He kept every record of every maintenance that this truck has had. He even kept a small notebook over the visor and logged every mile he drove. Clay beat his lung cancer and dealt with continuing heart issues. A surgery here, an angioplasty there....he never complained. He became a computer geek and worked part time from home. He made friendships and touched the lives of so many people around the world. Clay developed a blood cancer in 2009. Cancer was NOT tougher than Clay. He battled back - He knew the routine. He continued to work part time and again he never complained. He knew when his heart needed work and each time he would drive himself to the hospital. He was TOUGH ! BUILT FORD TOUGH ! He had heart problems this past October and he got in the truck to get tot he hospital. He made it to the end of his driveway before he had to call for an ambulance. He passed October 28th, 2013. He was 65 And cancer never beat him ! He left his "baby".....this truck to his sister ( My Mom) Here are Mom's words Clay's baby.....
"The pride of my
brother's life was his 2004 Ford 150 Lariat Truck, black with black windows, and
the "bubba rumble" as I would call his mufflers, it was his baby. He kept a
log of every mile he drove and every service that was done. from the time he
bought it. Well my brother has been called home by Our
Lord and although he left me, his
sister the truck, it is with much sadness that I must sell this beautiful truck to a
person who loves the "bubba rumble" and who will sit high in the front
seat as Captain of his own ship and feel the magic from it;s beauty. If I
were a younger person, and Mr Arthritis and Mr Old age weren't present I
would drive this "baby" with pride,listening to his truck music which brings
back many memories, and when stopped at a stop sign next to another
truck, look over and whisper without words, "watch it" "I see your
envy, this is Clay's truck, his baby and then leave them in the dust"!!
Sometimes, a truck is just a truck. This one, well this one seems like more. It's important to my Mom that you know the history of this truck. She is 77 and it's too much truck for her. She wants the new owner to appreciate the truck. All the maintenance records will come with the truck. Please email me with any questions you may have. If you need additional pics, just let me know.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads
Fri, Sep 11 2015Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Ford to announce Mulally retirement, Fields CEO as early as May 1
Mon, 21 Apr 2014Ford CEO Alan Mulally may be about to announce his long-rumored retirement from the Blue Oval, according to a pair of insiders who spoke to Bloomberg. An official statement on the succession could arrive as soon as May 1. Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields is rumored to step up as the new CEO. The company is said to be readying the announcement soon to ensure an orderly transition of power, according to the insiders.
Mulally's retirement from Ford has been a hot topic for a while. He was seriously rumored last year to be leaving the automaker to take over as the CEO of Microsoft. The board even said at one point that it was okay with them if he stepped down early. However, the CEO maintained he would stay with the business through at least the end of 2014. Fields has been rumored as a frontrunner to take over the top spot at the company since he was promoted to COO.
For the moment, Ford isn't officially confirming any of these plans. "We don't comment on speculation. We do have succession plans in place for our key leadership. We take succession planning very seriously," said Susan Krusel, Ford Global News Manager, to Autoblog.
